It also doesn't apply to people who don't need unported libraries, eg,
where the task is plain old text filtering or command line scripting.
Don't ask me for the list of "unported libraries", I know of none from

You might also want to withdraw the claim that Python 2.x is actively
developed.  With the release of 2.7, that's not true any more, not in
the sense that most people think of "actively developed."
